Massive Voting in Tamil Nadu: DMK, AIADMK, BJP Face Off | Vijay Emerges As Key X-Factor
The battleground state of Tamil Nadu witnessed a strong voter turnout of over 82% by 5 p.m., with some constituencies like Kumarapalayam in Namakkal district recording exceptionally high participation. Over 12.5 lakh first-time voters joined the democratic process, deciding the fate of thousands of candidates. The election is shaping up as a high-stakes contest between the ruling Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) led by MK Stalin, the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) aiming for a comeback, and an aggressive push by the Bharatiya Janata Party. Actor-turned-politician Vijay has also emerged as a key factor, even urging the Election Commission of India to improve voter management amid heavy turnout.
